Theyll think youre amazing.

Or you’re free to go the other way and use a Polaroid.
Youre also limited to using old or cheap cameras.

With Instax, you’re free to get a beautiful print from any of your digital photos.
The results are, shall we say, full of character.
Instax is, like Polaroid and early Instagram, all about those glitches.
The photo isnt just a record of a moment.
It becomes a part of the memory of that moment.
